Our federal government has promised the world leaders that Canada will commit to its responsibility for changing to alternate energy resources. The oil and gas industry has had decades of obscene subsidies and tax benefits. Their people knew years ago this day was coming.
There will always be a need for oil and gas but at a much lesser demand when we switch to alternate resources. These alternate resources will create and sustain many more jobs than the fuel industry ever did. Climate change is happening and the subsidies and tax benefits to the fuel industry need to be cut NOW and switched to alternate energy projects. If we are taken to court because of it and found in breach of contract??? Well awards are at the judge(s) discretion - we could pay minimal - say $1000 - Why not? The oil and gas will always be in demand and will always have investors.
Of course if we do not REJECT the TPP then the oil and gas corporations will be able to sue our government in THEIR court with THEIR judges and we will have to pay for any PERCEIVED LOSS OF PROFIT.
As for Ontario's hydro fiasco - they need to bite the bullet and stop dumping their bad management, bad administration and criminal executive salaries on customers. No excuses. You need to take care of Ontario customers first.
